Most firms reply in two days. We reply now.

People rarely contact a solicitor on a calm Tuesday morning. They contact one at midnight, after the letter arrived, when the worry will not let them sleep.

Someone answers then. Not with advice — with the right questions, the right department, and a time in the diary.

First response

It sorts the enquiry before anyone opens a file.

Every message is read, placed in the right area of practice, and the facts are collected while they are still fresh. Fee earners open the day with a triaged list instead of an inbox.

  • 01It never gives legal advice. It gathers, it schedules, it explains what happens next — nothing more.
  • 02It turns work away. Outside your areas, it says so at midnight instead of wasting a partner's morning.
  • 03It checks for conflict flags and hands anything urgent straight to the duty solicitor.

Practice

Four areas. No pretending about the fifth.

A firm that claims every speciality is telling you it has none.

01 — Family

Separation, children, finances

Fixed-fee first meeting. Nothing is filed before you understand what it costs and how long it takes.

02 — Property

Conveyancing that answers

The complaint is never the law. It is the silence. You get a weekly position, whether or not anything moved.

03 — Employment

Dismissal and settlement

Time limits are short and unforgiving. The first reply tells you your deadline before anything else.

04 — Probate

Wills and estates

Plain-language drafting, and an executor service for families who would rather not carry it.

05 — Referral

What we do not do

Crime, immigration and personal injury go to firms we trust. Said on the first message, not the third meeting.

06 — Fees

Written before we start

Hourly where it must be, fixed where it can be. Either way, in writing first.
